Kirsty Young has delighted fans this Platinum Jubilee weekend as she has returned to screens for first time in four years as part of the BBC coverage. She returned to the BBC this morning ahead of Trooping the Colour which kicked off the celebrations.
Kirsty, 53, was forced to take a break from her job back in 2018. She has just opened up for the first time about her life debilitating illness fibromyalgia.
She had hosted BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs for many years before taking her break due to ill health. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes people widespread pain and chronic tiredness.
